    I also have a Yashica. Its a Yashica Electro 35 GX. Its my father's old camera, found it collecting dust in his cabinet. Immediately asked his permission to use it, since its just at his cabinet not being used. I quickly searched the PDF copy of its manual, and how to replace the light seal, and how to find a similar battery to the discontinued Mercury battery. Now it works. I love it!

    • @plusalphastudio
      @plusalphastudio  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great!!! I think it is really meaningful to use camera handed down from parent! Have a great time with it! I’m also thinking to give it to kids if I get one later on in future! :)

    Thank you for making this video. My grandfather recently passed away suddenly and I found this camera whilst sorting his belongings. Its in almost mint condition and I dont think he really used this camera many times at all. I had never heard of it before but I really love the feel and look of it.

    That was my first 35 mm camera I got back in 1977. It took very sharp pictures and colors were amazing using Fugi Color film stock. Two years later I bought the Canon A1. Today I have the Canon 5D Mk IV with Canon 24-70mm F2.8, 70-200 mm F2.8, Sigma 50 mm Art Lens & Samyang 14 mm.

    Thanks so much for this video! I've been using a point-and-shoot film camera for years but my dad found this camera in a box (used to be my grandad's too!) and handed it down to me. Wasn't sure how to use it so this video is perfect, exactly what I needed!

    I've always wanted this camera but I really have poor eye sight. +650 on both eyes! How easy/hard is it to focus?

    • @plusalphastudio
      @plusalphastudio  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      The focusing is quiet easy to do. You just match 2 image that you see from the viewfinder. Hmm about the eyesight, I’m not sure how hard it gonna be... Some cameras has diopter accessary that adjust to the eye sight, but not sure this model has it. You can perhaps try to attach other brand’s diopter or use a contact lens. I know how uncomfortable that is because one of my eye has really bad eye sight... Hope you find a way to use this camera!

    • @plusalphastudio
      @plusalphastudio  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello! Thank you for enjoying my video! I have’t tried px28l, but what I have read, it will work fine! However, you need to modify the battery.. I suggest getting a adapter from ebay that make you to use 4 LR44 battery! Hope you have a great time with your camera!

    • @plusalphastudio
      @plusalphastudio  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Glad you enjoyed it! Yashica Eletro are really impressive camera.
      If you are using 4 LR44 battery, it is good to buy or build an adapter (plastic one or with shrink tube). May be an adapter is easy and quick way to use it! Howeve,r you can use 2 LR44 with one CR123, just simply taped down together.
      Hope you have a great time with your camera!

    I need help with my first film camera!! Should I get the yashica electro 35, Ricoh ff 9d, Olympus stylus 80, canonet ql19, or Minolta srt200?
    Though after your video I am leaning towards the yashica electro :)) I would really appreciate your help!

    • @plusalphastudio
      @plusalphastudio  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for watching! Wow so many different camera to consider! I think you need to set the purpose of getting camera first! I haven't used all of them personally, but however, I can tell these are cameras with different categories. You can divide them with 1. Yashica electro 35, Canonet ql19 / 2. Ricoh ff9d, Olympus stylus 80 / 3. Minolta srt300.
      1. Yashica electro 35, Canonet ql19: They are both Rangefinder (RF) Camera with non-attachable camera lens. I think these cameras are for people who want to carry around less stuff and want to get decent image quality. I personally have both of them and I prefer yashica a bit better for my taste of picture color.
      2. Ricoh ff9d, Olympus stylus 80: Both of them are point and soot camera. You cannot change the lens, however, the Ricoh ff9d has prime lens and Olympus stylus 80 has zoom lens. I always prefer prime lens then zoom lens in the image quality, although the zoom lens is easier and handy to use. I think both cameras are for people who want to have a light and compact camera to carry around. I prefer Olympus stylus 80 although it has zoom lens, because it is much smaller and handy.
      3. Minolta srt300: This camera is a SLR camera. Which means it can change the camera lens and change the setting to shoot many different modes. You can take a bulb mode, muti-exposure, and change the lens to different focal length. Furthermore, you can use a camera lens to DSLR or Mirrorless with an adapter. However, it is bit more pricey than other camera that you are considering and need a bit more knowledge to use it fully with all function. I believe if you want to do a lot of experience on photography then just taking picture for daily, this camera will the one.
      Check the reason how you want to use the camera! Sorry for a bit late reply. I hope this information be helpful to you! If you have further questions, please let me know! Thank you for watching!

    @williampitt1537 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have a problem with mine, it's also a Yashica Electro 35 but not a GSN (I think it was the very first model of about 1966). The thing is that the shutter curtain only closes once I lift my finger off the shoot button. It's like I litteraly control the shutter speed with my bare hands. Is it something in the mecanism or is it simply that I must control manually every time the shutter speed?

    • @plusalphastudio
      @plusalphastudio  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think you are using bulb mode. Not sure what model you are using, but check on the front of the lens. There are B / auto / flash. If you put it on B, the camera works as yours!

  • @_theyojimbo
    @_theyojimbo 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Lovely presentation of a wonderful camera. Does anybody have any advice as to which I should get between Yashica Electro 35 GS (not GSN) and a Minolta Hi-Matic 7S ? Many thanks in advance

    • @plusalphastudio
      @plusalphastudio  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you for enjoying my video! I don't have Minola Hi-matic 7s but I did some search about it. The basic information is as follow;
      Yashica Electro 35 GS (same as GSN but only without PC socket on hot shoe)
      Dates: 1973~1977
      ASA(ISO): 25~1,000
      Focal Length: 45mm
      Close Focus: 0.8m
      Aperture: f1.7~f16
      Shutter Speed: 1/500~30 seconds
      Weight: 728.4g
      Minolta Hi-matic 7s
      Dates: 1966
      ASA(ISO): 25~800
      Focal Length: 45mm
      Close Focus: 0.9m
      Aperture: f1.8~f16
      Shutter Speed: 1/500~B
      Weight: 725.8g
      Both camera are very similar camera in function and size. Except the difference between the lens coating (since they are different brand), the major difference is rather the camera can shoot in all manual, and automatic mode or not. Yashica Electro 35 GS works fully in aperture priority mode, which is you change the aperture and the camera decide the shutter speed for you. However, you can take aperture, shutter speed, and fully automatic mode on Minolta Hi-matic 7s. Both are really great camera and you have to look for rather the light meter works. I tried minolata lens before, but it was not my taste (although it is really great lens). If you are ok with not shooting manual mode, yashica electro 35 gs is fine. but if you want to shot manual and auto, minolta Hi-matic 7s is the one for you. have a look at the photos took by both camera. I hope this information is helpful to you!! Thanks!

      ​@@plusalphastudio Wow, thank you so much for this detailed reply! I actually made up my mind to go for the Yashica since the Electro 35 is such a legendary model, I feel like one copy belongs in my modest collection ;). I indeed don't really mind about having no manual mode since I plan to use my Canon A-1 whenever I really want to have full control over my settings, and go with the Yashica when I prefer to keep things a little simpler; set the aperture, focus and boom. I think the Yashica Electro 35 GS will be a great first step into the rangefinder world for me! Thanks for your advice!

      @plusalphastudio  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for loving my video! I guess you can over expose the photo bu setting different asa on the camera. For example putting 200 iso film, and setting higher iso/asa setting like 100 on the camera so that camera use longer stutter speed!

    Focal length가 45mm라는게 무슨 말인지 잘 모르겠어요ㅜㅜ 첫 입문인데 상이 두개 보인다는 것도 잘.. 도와주세요ㅜ

    • @plusalphastudio
      @plusalphastudio  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      안녕하세요. 먼저 45mm는 화각을 나타냅니다. 그냥 눈으로 보는 게 50mm 이구요, 50mm보다 숫자가 작아지면 풍경을 찍기 편한 광각이고 50mm보다 숫자가 크면 줌이 더 되어있어 인물을 찍기 편한 망원이 됩니다. 여기서 45mm는 사람 눈으로 보는 각도보다 아주 조금 넓은 화각입니다.
      상이 두개보인다는 건 초점을 잡는 것과 관련된 건데요, 야시카 일렉트로 35는 rf 카메라로 slr카메라와 다르게 초점을 잡는법이 다릅니다. 뷰파인더로 봤을 때 가운데에 상이 하나 더 뜨게 되는데, 렌즈로 초점을 잡으면 이 상이 움직입니다. 그래서 두개의 상을 겹치게 찍으면 초점이 잡히게 됩니다.
      필름 카메라 관련해서 궁금한점 있으시면 언제든지 여쭤보세요! 감사합니다!

    • @plusalphastudio
      @plusalphastudio  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Must be some issue with the focus ring. Since this camera has some age, some copy of camera needs repairing. If the focus ring does not rotate than it must be some resin get stuck or got harden.
      My advice is for that is sending it to repair shop. You can also repair it by yourself by disassembling the lens, but it is not recommended since it has high risk of scratching the lens coating, which you cannot fix, unless changing to another lens.
      Try to warm the lens part by plastic bag of hot water (DO NOT POUR the water directly toward the lens. Moisture cause mold to grow inside of the lens. DO NOT POUR WATER!). and still not works, then I highly recommend to send the camera to repairing shop.
      Repairing cost will be differ from the shop you use, and the condition of the camera. but normally where I live, fixing a lens costed me about $30.
      I hope you fix your camera well, and please let me know!! Thank you.

      However, there are some other ways to run this camera. The camera was designed to run by 5.6v mercury battery that they don't make it anymore nowadays. So to use this camera you need to make 6v with one of the many different combinations of alkaline batteries.
      4 LR44(1.5v) batteries with adapter
      2 LR44(1.5v) with 1 CR123(3v) (you can use it by attaching them with tape no adapter is needed)
      0.4v difference does not affect when using a camera. The combination of 2 LR44 with 1 CR123 work just fine, but I'm using a 4 LR44 with adapter because it is just quick than attaching with tapes..
      It is quite easy to get an battery than some other cameras with weird batteries...
